      What I can't quite recall is when (or why) the weather changed from being the bit at the end of the news to it becoming the news if a wind gust anywhere in the country (but in particular the south-east) was expected to exceed 40mph.

        You really are a miserable whiner. When the weather is newsworthy, it's the news. i.e. Michael Fish's 'hurricane'.

          You really can't read.

          It's newsworthy today, yes, but not every time someone farts.

            Weather can be odd. Decades ago me and the missus were walking on a beach on a fairly calm day when a huge wave came rushing in and almost dragged her away.

              It's the risk to life aspect ..... warning people what's coming, and the potential risk, is surely a good thing? No?

                Today yes, but i'm sure the weather makes the main news at least once a week nowadays.

                But, back to that live landing stream above - it really is heart-thumping stuff watching that. Recommended for anyone who wants to waste 30 minutes of their clients time
